audiobook listening with us for the foreseeable future since she just graduated
high school and is ready to start the next phase of her life. We will miss her

This is an enjoyable book with lots of adventure,
humor and peril to our beloved characters, Yelena and Valek. We all agree that
we still love them as well as Ari, Janco and Opal. We also agree that we hate
Roze, Tauno and Cahil. Damn, why hasn’t someone killed Cahil already?! Marrok is
a surprising character. We couldn’t get a bead on him, but we feel bad about
what happened to him. Leif has proven himself to not be such an asshat now, so
we prefer if he stays alive. There is copious amounts of traveling in this
book. I was exhausted just listening to them, but it makes for good
storytelling. We would have been sad if this had been the last book, as originally
had been planned (and when I read them back in 2011), but there’s a new
addition called Shadow Study, so we’ll
be moving on to it soon. Though technically I guess it’s a whole new trilogy
called Soulfinders. Anywho, it’s up
next.
